    Have you checked that Win 7 has found the driver
    for your device? Windows should find device drivers
    however you say you have just installed it which leads me
    to believe that you may be using older hardware, and this being the case
    Windows 7 may not always find ALL of the required drivers.

    For example on an old Toshiba laptop of mine a Windows 7 Professional install
    after having Vista on will not find my webcam driver.

    Check the driver first is what I'm saying.

    By the way- what is your Audio software as listed
    in Control Panel? (ie: the second image was opened by clicking
    on what software for example- Realtek audio manager)

    Apologies for getting back here later than expected- been busy.

    You are being a little vague with specifics, however
    maybe this will help you solve oyur problem.
    Try following the instructions found here:
